火爆警探

　　昭和初期。浅草界隈の左官、大工をまとめ信望を一身に集める鳶政は、今は病身で、後取りの小頭の秀次郎が兵役から帰還してくるのを待っていた。そうした時、東京で博覧会が開かれることになり、会場が上野に決った。上野は鳶政の縄張りだったが、博徒阿久根一家が札束をつんで工事の利権を譲れと言ってきた。これを断った鳶政は阿久津の子分三日仏に殺された。阿久津はその上、市の土木局長高見沢と結託し、鳶政傘下の業者を買収してしまった。そんなやり方に、阿久津の代貸し重吉とその妹文代は心を痛めていた。重吉は秀次郎とは親友だった。やがて秀次郎が帰ってきた。そして入札は無事に鳶政一家に落ち、会場建設の大工事が始った。そんな時、音吉が芸者染次を身請けするため大切な纒を質屋の岩源に渡し、それが阿久津の手に渡るという事件が起った。音吉は責任を感じそれを取り返しに行って殺され、染次も阿久津に身を売る約束で纒を取返したが、音吉の後を追って死んだ。秀次郎たちは阿久津への激しい怒りに駆られたものの、今は工事の方が大切と会場建設に全力を注ぐのだった。しかし阿久津たちはそんな鳶政一家に次々と工事の妨害を仕かけてきた。それをじっと耐えていた秀次郎たちだったが、工事現場に放火された時は勘忍袋の緒を切らした。一方、度重なる阿久津の悪どいやり方に重吉は盃を叩き返し、秀次郎の許に駆けつけた。ちょうど秀次郎は、ひとりで殴り込もうとする鳶政のひとり息子明夫を制し、自分で行こうとしていた。かわりに秀次郎と重吉が阿久津一家に殴り込んだ。二人は思う存分暴れ回り、たちまち修羅場と化したが、その中で重吉が三日仏に殺された。しかし、唐獅子牡丹の刺青を背に暴れる秀次郎に、阿久津も三日仏も倒されていった。

贝多芬（岑建勋 饰）和阿秋（吴耀汉 饰）是一对好朋友，也是搞笑鬼马的便衣搭档。他们常将警局闹得不可开交，连上司陈办（陈欣建 饰）也头疼不已。不过，自从阿秋和安娜（叶德娴 饰）结婚之后，贝多芬就变得孤苦...

《危急营救》剧情讲述了成龙和兄弟大力是卧龙山的两个穷小子，为了生活，二人决定去城里发展，二人去城里以后做起了帮忙要账的工作，无意中卷入一场家族绑架案，兄弟俩凭着自己未泯的良心，没有向金钱屈服，最终惩治了头目并解救了小女孩依依。两人也从替人要债的地痞，转变为“知荣知耻的新人”。影片主题鲜明，立意明确，人物之间的矛盾冲突强烈，通过喜剧演员与特型演员的演绎，故事有嬉笑怒骂的冲突，也有感动流涕的情节，多条线索交织，整体轻松，有颇多逗趣之处。

　　影片由一个少年学艺、为父报仇的故事展开，发展为一个抗击恶势力、维护家人利益的励志故事，主角叶少侠在尚武镇历尽艰辛吃尽苦头，最终成为一代大师。剧中人物以喜剧表演风格将影片维持在一个轻松氛围中，所塑造的叶少侠行为上除了体现中国儒家传统的忠孝仁义等优秀品质外，还带有西方泊来的平等博爱等观念的影响。而叶少侠初期自身缺点——争强好胜的少年心性，也让他在励志学武过程中更加的赋予人物色彩。过程中武艺精进，实则是少年心性的塑造，开始的一心复仇，到了影片的后半部分更多的是迫不得已才出手，保卫“家人”而出手，复仇的情节早已在人物成长中有所释怀。影片对反派的恶丝毫不留情面，反派所代表的外邦势力，更能让人感受到故事发生时期人民所受的屈辱。这将是给主角展示能力的合理依据，不仅是反省，更是自强则国强的隐喻。

　　Having witnessed his junkie father killed Russell Stevens grows up to become a policeman and make a difference. When he is offered an undercover job by Gerald Carver he accepts and begins to build a relationship with David Jason in order to get to the main dealers. However as he is forced to deal drugs and kill to keep his cover he finds the lines between cop and criminal being lost – is he a cop pretending to be a dealer or a dealer pretending to be a cop?
　　Larry (as he was then) Fishburne's first lead role was a typically dark vehicle. The story is the usual one of cop losing himself when undercover, however it manages to be more than that for most of the time. Co-written by Tolkin, who wrote The Player, this naturally has a nice cynical edge to it when it looks at the US's hypocritical approach to drug control and the political links between the street hustlers and the political high rollers who court respectability. The story does eventually settle into a traditional setting but even then it works well as a thriller.
　　The multi-talented Bill Duke directs well with a gritty feel and a few nice touches. However several things are a bit iffy. For most of the film Fishburne's narration/voice over is a bit like a cross between Apocalypse Now and Blade Runner – it comes across as a little too dark and heavy and also explains things like we can't figure it out ourselves. However once you get into the film it's not as big a deal. My main problem lies with the characters.
　　Fishburne is excellent, a real model of underlying anger and violence, Goldblum is good but perhaps a little OTT on the yuppie/violence thing, but there's good support from Smith and Spin City's beautiful (and often underused – but not here) Victoria Dillard. However the two main white characters (Goldblum and Smith) are both smeared with racist insinuations – Smith appears to insult his black officers and doesn't care about the junkies, while Goldblum is fascinated about all things black and talks about them as wild beautiful beasts and loves having sex with "black'. These things aren't a major problem, but with basically only two white characters in it, it's a little worrying that both are given that edge.
　　However these are minor complaints that get lost with a good thriller. Fishburne excels and Duke delivers a story that is a good thriller but also has a jaded, subversive edge.
